Bug ID: 199441
Summary: nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) only returns number in Chinese
locales

OS: Any
Status: New

Fix short month names and replace %b with %_m in date_fmt for Chinese locales
When using a Chinese locale, such as zh_TW.UTF-8 or zh_CN.UTF-8,
nl_langinfo(ABMON_*) only returns numbers. nl_langinfo(ABMON_1) returns 1,
nl_langinfo(ABMON_2) returns 2, and so on.
This causes problems in applications that put the short month name and the day
of the month together. For example, 'Apr 14' in English becomes '414日' in
Chinese on the top bar of GNOME Shell.
This problem may be resolved by appending '月' to all short month names and
replacing %b with %_m in date_fmt. ja_JP.UTF-8 already does this, but I have
not done much testing to know whether it can cause other problems in Chinese
locales. The GNU C Library also returns values with '月' appended.
